I attended several different workshops while at the conference. Each workshop I attended was excellent. I was not expecting as much as I received from these workshops. I am so glad that I was able to attend the Leadership Connections Conference. This was my first time being in attendance. The workshop which was most meaningful to me was "Caring For The Caregivers" with John Roope. This workshop was very refreshing especially since it was at 8:30am on Saturday morning. I was given strategies to help me learn how to handle and release stressful situations and the stress that arises in my life daily from the job and personally. There were several techniques that I took from this workshop that I will share with my staff and that I will use in my personal life. One of the techniques was self talk which I already do but he gave us another twist to use with this.
